Chapter 112: Secret (4)
Death Knights have transcended humanity. Purification with blessing is a deadly weakness for the undead, who surpass humans in all areas. However, even without that, Death Knights, who contain an extraordinary amount of blessing, which is life energy itself, are much more powerful than ordinary humans, Then, what about vampire hunters?
Unlike Death Knights, vampire hunters don’t have any unusual powers. They would undoubtedly have become Death Knights if they had the talent to control blessing. Thus, most vampire hunters are ordinary humans compared to Death Knights. However, that doesn’t mean they cannot fight against humans as well.
The driving force of vampire hunters is fanaticism. They need madness to hunt a monster as a human and they need diligent training as well as good luck to survive.

There was nothing special about the skills of the guards that were protecting the Mayor either. If the information given by their collaborator was true, there was no doubt that the Mayor knew something. But, he was way too poorly guarded. Neville, who was carefully observing him with narrowed eyes until now, admonished Keeper.
“Keeper, I’m sure we said to go in peacefully.”
